Our exciting range of theoretical and practical modules lets you tailor the course to your individual interests. You’ll have access to dedicated media laboratories, film and sound studios, and an in-house DVD library of over 5,000 films and TV programmes.
Brighton is the perfect place to study film – it boasts a thriving digital production scene and hosts film festivals such as Cinecity, which bring world-class directors and their films to the city every year.
